Dumbest member of the senate, undefeated

F.C.C. Changes Course on the Price of Prisoners’ Phone Calls

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

People aren't as dumb as Republicans think. He's on an ego-tour of Asia, boycotting talks to end the shutdown, and cutting people off SNAP benefits even though there's $5B left in the contingency fund.

Republican Governors want to force feed the rotten, fascist, disgusting politics of TurningPoint USA to students in their states.

We won't let them. @votersoftomorrow.org is working to set up chapters in Florida, Oklahoma, and Indiana to actually educate students and fight back against TPUSA.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).
